Gentlemen, I had a near mishap last weekend. I was quail hunting with a friend, carrying a 20 bore Philly Fox. I took a shot at a bird, opened the gun, put another
cartritdge in the right barrell, closed the gun and the gun fired (right barrell). Fortunately, I had the gun pointed in a direction that caused no harm but it scared the pants off me and my friend. I checked the safety and it was on. My finger was not near the trigger. I don't think there was any problem with a sticky firing pin. I shot the gun the rest of the day with no further misfires (being very careful as I closed the gun each time). Can anybody explain what might have happened? Do Foxes have this problem often? Should I get the gun checked out? Thanks in advance. Bagfinger
